FAQ

  • The basic ingredients in Crayola® Markers are water and dye. A common experiment is to use paper chromatography to separate the dyes. When performing this experiment, you will find that not all Crayola Marker colors separate into different colors due to the nature of dyes utilized in creating marker colors. (Brown, violet and green markers work best). For example, only one dye is used to make our red color marker, but a number of dyes are used to make our brown color marker. In a chromatography experiment, the brown will separate into different colors; however, the red will not. A craft involving chromatography is available on our website at Crayola's chromatography craft page.

  • Keep designs permanent on fabric and other surfaces when you choose Crayola products with non-washable pigments:

    • Crayola Acrylic Paints, including Acrylic Paint Sticks
    • Crayola Fabric Markers
    • Crayola Fine Point Doodle Markers (ideal for cotton, polyester, leather, & canvas)
    • Crayola Portfolio Series Acrylic Paint
    • Crayola Take Note! Permanent Markers
    For added permanency and to fix the color to the fabric, an adult should heat-set the colors before laundering or wearing the garment. Otherwise, washing the fabric before heat-setting, will cause a loss of color intensity.

    To heat-set using an iron
    1.  Set the iron at the hottest setting appropriate for the fabric type.
    2. Cover your work-surface with scrap cloth or rags to prevent unwanted stains.
    3. Turn the fabric inside out, and iron the reverse side of the design with a back and forth motion for 4 minutes.
     
    To heat-set using a clothes dryer, place the item alone in the dryer for 30 minutes on the hottest setting appropriate for the fabric. Do not dry other garments at the same time.
     
    To heat-set using a blow-dryer, use the hottest setting to thoroughly heat the design for 4 minutes.
